x86/microcode: Remove pointless apply() invocation

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v6.7-rc1
commit b48b26f992a3828b4ae274669f99ce68451d4904
category: feature
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I8XRMW


CVE: NA

--------------------------------

Microcode is applied on the APs during early bringup. There is no point
in trying to apply the microcode again during the hotplug operations and
neither at the point where the microcode device is initialized.

Collect CPU info and microcode revision in setup_online_cpu() for now.
This will move to the CPU hotplug callback later.

  [ bp: Leave the starting notifier for the following scenario:

    - boot, late load, suspend to disk, resume

    without the starting notifier, only the last core manages to update the
    microcode upon resume:

    # rdmsr -a 0x8b
    10000bf
    10000bf
    10000bf
    10000bf
    10000bf
    10000dc <----

    This is on an AMD F10h machine.

    For the future, one should check whether potential unification of
    the CPU init path could cover the resume path too so that this can
    be simplified even more.

  tglx: This is caused by the odd handling of APs which try to find the
  microcode blob in builtin or initrd instead of caching the microcode
  blob during early init before the APs are brought up. Will be cleaned
  up in a later step. ]
